    Fucking Biden. The Supreme Court put a gun in his hand. If he’d used it and sent Seal Team 6 to Mar-a-Lago we wouldn’t be having these problems.

      OR, hey OR we could have shown up and voted for Harris. That also would have prevented a demented rapist felon from causing these problems.

      But y’know. She loves genocide or some russian troll shit.

      That would have blew up this country. Biden should have arrested him for January 6th day one in office, sure. Sentiment was against Trump then. Killing him with government forces would have made him a martyr to all the right’s deep state propaganda.

    Posse Comitatus:

    https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/posse-comitatus-act-explained

    What does the Posse Comitatus Act say?

    The Posse Comitatus Act consists of just one sentence: “Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”

    In practice, this means that members of the military who are subject to the law may not participate in civilian law enforcement unless doing so is expressly authorized by a statute or the Constitution.
